All Hallows Eve

I wasn’t expecting to dress up this year but boredom got the best of me. You see, we were going to meet up with another family and go trick or treating. I start getting the kids ready for a 6pm departure at about 4:30pm. It doesn’t take that long to get them ready contrary to what every Sunday morning church departure has taught me. At 5:30pm we make the call to see if the other family is ready and they tell us 6:30.

I had an hour surrounded by face paint and an imagination. The easiest thing, I think, is a zombie. 15 minutes later, I am done with make up and bored again. In my mind, I associate Black Lantern’s with zombies. Not a huge leap and I wonder what the black lantern symbol is. I check it out on google and my first thought is that I could draw that pretty easily. So 20 minutes later I am standing there with a black lantern symbol on the chest of my black leather jacket.

Of course no one knew that I was a black lantern. I did get compliments on my face paint though. One person asked what the symbol on my chest was but didn’t know what a black lantern was and probably didn’t know what a green lantern was either.
